4th of July Plans?

Well, the 4th of July falls on Thursday this year. So if you take off Friday, it gives you a four-day weekend! What are your plans for the 4th?

I really only have a 3-day weekend since my mom's birthday is Thursday (yes, she is a Yankee Doodle Dandy) which means the 4th is spent with her which I don't mind. She's lovely! But after that I need suggestions.....it is really hot here and I'm feeling uninspired.

I will be at a family barbecue, yay! I am in charge of dessert, so I am making a red, white, and blue themed plate naturally! I am marinating strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, blueberries, and blackberries in balsamic vinegar and honey, then drizzling it over angel food cake and vanilla ice cream. I'll try making Guinness beer floats too, we'll see how it goes!

Well, I work July 4th. Crazy isn't it? I'm also working July 3rd. Good thing I'm off the 5th. I think right after work on July 4th, we're going to have a BBQ. After a long 8 hour shift I think that would be perfect.

I don't have any plans yet! I was going to go out of town to a cabin but, I do not think I will have enough time to go up there. I've seen the fire works so many times, it sort of gets old! If it's nice out, I think I might go to the beach

REST! And then...some mighty good burgers on our grill with chips, pickles, and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. Add a beer and Cokes, and it's just pretty much the bestest 4th of July in the whole dang world!

Re: 4th of July Plans?

My parents and I are having a small cookout with my papaw (dad's dad), granny (mom's mom), and Lanndan. I'm hoping my cousin will be able to come, too. After the cookout, we'll probably play games and whatnot.
